In some respects, yes. I am very untalented at social interaction, and it pains me tremendously. However, in other respects, I do have a fair amount of talent. My artistic abilities are quite impressive, my affinity to sciences and mathematics allow me to understand complex concepts of both exceedingly quickly, and judging by my dorm room's sink being filled nearly to the faucet with dirty dishes, none of which mine, I'm very responsible for someone my age, and in an environment where that is lacking to such a degree, it might as well be a talent.
I've got others, but I doubt anyone would believe me. Then again, what do I care? It's the goddamn internet.

I'm good at video games but that's about it ._.' I don't really think of that as much so I feel untalented.
Talent is an illusion.Jenkins said:
Seriously, do you think that the person with great art skills just got some special software installed whilst in his mother's womb? Or that the famous musician just happened to have the right gene for blowing a trumpet?
All it takes is determination. Pick something that you want to be good at and get to work. Don't expect some kind of stupid Rocky montage where you get awesome in the space of a month. Work persistently and always look to find new ways to improve and soon you'll be the guy/girl that everyone around you says 'Wow, i wish i could do (X) like you' to.
I wrote up a whole article where i ranted about this before, with tips on how to start learning and get good at anything, regardless of whatever talent you think you may or may not have. You can view it here [http://workhate.co.uk/?p=782]
My asperger's syndrome reduces my motor skills, so I feel untalented in such regards, but, I try to find things that can be constructive even if they don't require motor skills.
I used to write 1 page little comics i liked them so much that i wrote 2 hundred in 1 week looking back on them now they don't seem funny like at all so i stopped writing and have felt under talented since ,I can touch my nose with my tongue but that doesn't count right anyway see you in the funny pages : )
I don't specialize in any particular field, but it seems I can pick up just about anything a bit faster than anyone else in my group. I'm also the most articulate of the lot, in the majority of cases, so it doesn't bother me too much when someone else is better than I am at X subject. I am sufficient.
Yeah, at times, I don't feel too talented. But that doesn't mean I get upset and stop doing what I enjoy. Sure, I suck, now, but if I keep working and practicing on what I'm doing, I'll get better. Practice makes perfect.
Other than having copious amounts of luck (which might be a talent?) I have an excellent memory of things. I'm debating if it is or isn't considered talent. I can do weird things, like clover my tongue and open cans with my teeth. I don't really consider either a talent. Being exceptional at Drawing, Music, or say Martial Arts. That would be talent. I lack skill in the first two, and have not tried the latter. I may be a true prodigy, or an absolute doofus. We shall see.
